Kheyra Baal escapes to Earth to avoid an arranged marriage on planet Dattar, where female vampires are the dominant sex. Just once in her life, she wants to experience real passion with a real alpha. She has five days before the Dattaran posse tracks her down, and she is determined to couple with a mortal man. Instead, she trespasses on the hunting ground of Deacon Quincy, another vampire. Vampires are not supposed to exist on Earth. They are certainly not supposed to be alphas who demand ultimate submission. Deacon Quincy, however, doubts Kheyra's intentions. She'll have to risk her heart and her life to convince him she's worth keeping.
